In 1962, Sam Gilliam moved from Kentucky to Washington, D.C., where he has worked ever since. Among many innovations, Gilliam broke away from the rectangular stretcher and the wall, introducing unstretched, unframed canvases, sometimes of monumental scale, that folded and draped to envelop the viewer in color. See Gilliam's work in the new exhibition Generations: A History of Black Abstract Art: artbma.org/generations. | Baltimore Museum of Art

12 reactions | “Painting has guts.” –Sam Gilliam  Inspired by jazz and attuned to the social movements of the late 1960s, Gilliam experimented with the material properties of painting. As seen in his work "Leaf," the artist worked without a brush, pouring acrylic paint on lengths of canvas, which he folded to create complex and vivid effects.  See “Leaf” in the free exhibition “Slip Zone,” on view now through July 10. | Dallas Museum of Art | Facebook
